ABOUT US
COLAB Connects aligns thought leaders and organizations in the alternative investments industry to foster, support, and empower the current and next generation of talent, driving innovation and excellence across the field.
Due to the incredible success of both the Career Forum and Golf Outing, we have formed a new non-profit organization, COLAB Connects, to enable these flagship events to grow even further. Chrissie Pariso (MPowered Capital) and Shannon Zoller (Tephra Advisors) launched both of these events over nine years ago, growing it to over 800+ attendees for the Career Forum and 200+ attendees for the Golf Outing. They have now partnered with Carrie Pickett (Blueprint) to launch Colab Connects with the same mission: to foster, support, and empower the current and next generation of talent, driving innovation and excellence in our industry.
